Review on CNE21802 Black 1 75mm Filament for Printing by Wesley Holmes

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not worth the selling price

This is a terrible thread. Mine came from a warehouse but I live in the desert so humidity isn't an issue. The thread is not brittle, color and adhesion are good. The diameter of the spool is uneven, which often caused my mod-t's bottom bracket to get stuck. Also the coil winding is absolutely terrible. At many points on the spool, the line is twisted (i.e. knotted) backwards and under itself. This resulted in many misprints and feeding problems during printing. I'd be hilarious if I paid $60 for it, but it was $18 on a warehouse deal. I started unwinding the thread to about the length I would need for the work, untied the 5 or 6 knots I found there, and unwound it again. Needless to say, it's a pain.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
